Keeping your data secure

Transmitting information over the internet is generally not completely secure, and we cannot guarantee the security of your data and any data you transmit is at your own risk. However, we have procedures and security features in place to try and keep your data secure once we receive it.

We will not share your information with any other organisations for marketing, market research or commercial purposes and we do not pass on your details to other websites.

However, we reserve the right to use non-personal information for business, research and marketing purposes. Where we do this the information does not identify the person who provided it or contains any contact information relating to that person.

Payment transactions are made through a third-party provider and we do not store any of your payment details. These payment transactions are always encrypted.

Disclosing your information

How to delete your account

You can delete your account from the RedTail Website at any time. This process is immediate and cannot be reversed. All your account details, including details of credits, orders, search history and saved images are removed.

Information collected by this Website

Information that is routinely collected by this Website falls into the two categories of contact us/feedback forms and Website log files:

• Contact us/ feedback forms

This Website provides a contact form to allow Users to contact RedTail. The information collected will be stored and used for fulfilling the requested RedTail service.

Information collected from contact us/ feedback forms is not stored on this Website but is instead sent to a separate service desk system that is accessible only by authorised RedTail staff. These contact us/ feedback forms are not intended for the transmission of confidential or security-related material and should not be used for such purposes.

• Website log files

All Websites produce log files that record the activity on that site. Log files record which pages on the site have been accessed and how many times. From this information, it is possible to produce statistics such as how busy this Website is, which pages are the most popular and whether there are any broken links.

When you delete your account with us some material, including log and activity records, may remain in our database for management information purposes but it is disassociated from any personal identifiers.

Log files typically record the IP address and/or hostname of all users accessing this Website. This allows us to distinguish between different users and therefore estimate the number of unique visitors to this Website. IP addresses and hostnames are not linked to any individual’s personally identifiable information.

Specific IP addresses and hostnames will only be used by Website log file software to compile overall summary statistical reports on the performance of this Website. (For more information about IP addresses and hostnames, see the additional information on the terms and conditions page.

Website log files are stored securely on this Website using industry best practice methods for safeguarding information and server functions.

• Session Cookies – these are temporary cookie files, which are erased when you close your browser. When you restart your browser and go back to the site that created the cookie, this Website will not recognise you.

• Persistent Cookies – these remain on your computer for a period to allow a Website to recognise you when you return and present you with the appropriate customised page.

Cookies are not used to identify you personally. RedTail.com Cookies are used to:

measure how you use the Website so it can be updated and improved based on your needs.

remember notifications you have seen so that we do not show them to you again.

How Cookies are used on RedTail.comMeasuring RedTail.com Website usage (Google Analytics)We use Google Analytics software to collect information about how you use RedTail.com we do this to make sure the website is meeting the needs of its users and to help us make improvements.

Google Analytics stores information about:

what pages you visit on RedTail.com

how long you spend on each RedTail.com page

how you got to the Website

what you click on whilst you are visiting the WebsiteWe do not collect or store your personal information, so this information cannot be used to identify who you are, and we do not allow Google to use or share our analytics data.Further details can be found at cookies set by Google Analytics.You may see a pop up welcome message when you first visit RedTail.com. We will store a cookie so that your computer knows you have seen it and knows not to show it to you again.IP addresses and hostnamesAn IP address is the numeric address of a computer. The IP address recorded on Website log files is the address provided by your internet service provider’s equipment and not your own personal computer’s address.

Hostnames are similar in appearance to the domain names you see in URLs and email addresses. The hostnames recorded on Website log files are those of the internet service provider’s equipment that you are using to access the internet, and not your own computer’s name or location.

Your internet service provider will keep records of which customer is using any IP address or hostname at any given time, and so it is theoretically possible to trace back activity shown on any Website log file to a specific individual. In practice, this can only be done with the explicit involvement of the internet service provider, and such a trace would therefore only take place in the event of serious criminal misuse of the internet and would be carried out by the relevant law enforcement authority (that is the Police).

RedTail.com will not attempt to associate IP addresses and hostnames with individuals. In the event of serious criminal misuse of this Website, the matter would be referred to the relevant law enforcement authorities for investigation.

This Privacy policy only covers the RedTail.com website and does not cover links within this Website to other Web sites.
Our Performance Survey

We may occasionally select some Users to take part in a performance survey. If you choose to take part or dismiss the survey, we will save a cookie that will tell us you have seen the message so we do not show it to you again.

We may use a survey company to collect responses to a survey on our behalf. If you take part in the survey, the survey company will save extra cookies to your computer to track your progress through the survey.

We also welcome any thoughts and suggestions for improving our procedures.
